The United States easily won against Lithuania (89-62) in the first semi-final of the U17 Men’s World Cup. They will face this Sunday the winner of Spain – France.
Unsurprisingly, the United States won the first semi-final of the U17 Men’s World Cup this Saturday in Malaga. Team USA beat Lithuania 89 to 62. In front from start to finish after a perfectly controlled start to the game (17-2 after 6 minutes of play), the players of Sharman White were a little slowed down by the defense of the opposing zone. But their own all-terrain press allowed them to cause 21 loss of ball, scoring 31 points in the wake of these. Enough to ensure great success while rotating, Ronald Holland (7 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists in 28 minutes) having been the only player to spend more than 22 minutes on the ground.
